I'm on the asexual and aromantic spectrums. I've only ever felt attraction once and it was unfortunately towards a friend. We first became friends years ago but didn't start talking again until the beginning of the year. I realised I felt differently at the beginning of May this year.

I knew it was unlikely that they'd like me back, so tried to ignore it but my brain wouldn't let it go. I eventually told them knowing l'd be rejected. As expected they rejected me and finally my brain dropped it.

However I didn't consider the fact my friend knowing how felt would make things awkward... I don't have many friends and I really like being friends with this person. Did my confession fuck things up? I'm really out of my element here

I have a paper pattern for jeans with it's smallest size being AU18, but I'm an AU12. I think I know how downsize it but I figured I'd ask some sewing Reddit pages first so I don't accidentally do the wrong thing.

So Reddit, how would you go about downsizing a jeans pattern 3 sizes smaller?
